Abstract

Introduction: Since 2016, with the emergence of the concept of post-truth, more than 100,000 scientific articles have been published on disinformation and post-truth. This study reviews the literature to identify the main objects of study around these issues. Methodology: A literature review was conducted to identify the main objects of study related to disinformation and post-truth. Results: A significant gap was observed in the research on the battle for control of the narrative after the dissolution of ETA in 2018, with less than a hundred references. Discussion: Despite the importance of public information in the aftermath of peace, there is considerably less research on ETA compared to the IRA or the peace process in Colombia. Conclusions: It is crucial to scientifically address the question of the control of the narrative after the dissolution of ETA, given its relevance in public opinion.
